Nah but post in the metal topic. There should be some people there still stuck in the 80s.

What a close minded response, anyway yea post in the metal topic or look up the Megadeth topic that was posted a little while back. Personally they are one of my favourite bands and have been for a long time.

[Mand'alor]

Yup, my favourite band of all time. Were you at the Knoxville concert where they debuted Dialectic Chaos and played Hook In Mouth?

[Oblivionz]

A Tout Le Monde is easily one of the greatest songs ever.

You'd get in trouble for bumping the olde MegaDave thread, just cause the rules here are so outta wack. Anyway, MD, front row, awesome, BUT, I did get to actually meet the band in 1995. Dave signed my guitar, I walked right by Marty Friedman as he commented to me that he owned a guitar like mine in the past! I neglected to have him sign it, I think I was too worried I'd miss Mustaine (outside his tour bus), I also think Dave Jr was in hiding. I got them to autograph something, a flyer I think, rather then my guitar. Sadly, neglected a camera EVERY time I meet a band after a gig. I hate that

[Democrab]

I haven't heard much of their discography, but I do like Symphony of Destruction and Peace Sells.

[Moonshield]

I liked it better when Dave wasn't a brain-f*cked right wing christian dickwad, but just a dickwad.

[Slamman]

I don't mind, you can be Born Again Christian, or raised a Christian and not give up on Rock Music. I had personal conviction about Rock and Metal, despite my family's strict up-bringing, call it R n R rebellion.

Dave Mustaine was strongly visible in the mid-90s doing Rock the Vote, in that time frame, and actually late 1980s, he'd said in an interview on FM radio "No one wants to hear you complain, if all you're doing is complaining, If you're not offering a solution or part of the solution, you're part of the problem", in some regard, what he was getting at is right. I've seen this same thing happen in the work force, many people pointing fingers, playing the Blame Game, instead of correcting and tackling the issue, and his opinions seemed more prevalant in the past, to me anyway, I hear he does post things online sometimes.

 

I've never been offended by anything Dave's said. Others have, but I don't see why.

The only real problem I have with Dave's new found "brain-f*cked right wing christian(ism)" is his refusal to play some damn amazing songs off early Megadeth albums live. Otherwise I couldn't care less.

He's scrapped that little shenanigan and the band are currently re-learning The Conjuring. I wish they'd re-learn Looking Down The Cross.

 

I really couldn't give a damn what the man's beliefs are.

[Slamman]

The fact most bands eschew their early works is not something new with Megadeth as an example. Ask any hard rock fan attending shows, It's true in most cases. Bands want to highlight new material and a few hits, and when you tour extensively, the set list typically always comes out similar.

 

Bands like Def Leppard and Scorpions have not played their earliest recordings in the past. Scorpions actually dusted off some of their lost classics, and as singer Klaus Miene reported, he had to buy the records, in some cases, and listen again to how those songs go!

 

In Def Leppard's case, it was the embaressment of the old songs as they were so close to the material and felt it didn't stand the test of time well. Same thing was reported by Mille Petrozza of Kreator, he was basically embarressed to pull out a song like Son of Evil (IIRC)

 

This case is also true of the Eagles, and feelings expressed by Glenn Frey on his early song writing efforts, there were as few like Desperado where he had right to be proud of the result.

 

In most cases, it just comes down to time, a 2 to 3 hour show STILL can't touch on a career of material for most established acts

Huzzah, magnificent news. Lets hope there is good sound next time they're here.

[Mand'alor]

They are also re-learning Five Magics, one of the other songs he didn't want to play when he was new to the whole new found Christian thing.

I don't either, except if it f*cks with the music. I'd love to see LDTC live.

Well, they didn't go for Satanism either, and like Metallica, when in that band, they veered away from Satanic Metal because it's "stupid". {old magazine source, or similar} As Billy Milano [MOD/SOD] once said on camera "If any of these guys met Satan, they'd sh*t their pants!", perfect summation

 

Anyway, Dave's MD is not the new STRYPER, but STRYPER aren't all that bad, and these days, they are touring and performing as just a rock act, not God's Squad, so to speak.

 

There's some good Christian and Faithful acts as I mentioned awhile ago. I don't think Dave's making it his soapbox, but he likely did have feelings that changed since his youth, you'll find that happens

No I was at charlotte nc but they did play both and yes it was the most badass concert ive ever been to. Crowd surfed on holy wars

Other than the fact that he outright refused to play some festival in Germany because Rotting Christ was on the bill, so they got the boot since Megadeth was obviously the bigger name. That kind of mindset is the exact opposite of what metal's about. f*ck him.

[Slamman]

I brought up before, travelling with friends Disturbed inroute to and from Milwaukee MetalFest, we were discussing Satanism and metal comparing it to Star Wars battle of good vs evil, it was pretty funny. Can't recall what exactly was said but I did some taping as we were driving along, just not sure where those tapes are now.

 

I've had a bit of a problem with Deicide, started out listening to them, as they were not fully writing about evil and Satan, their MASTER. But then it just got over-used as usual. There are smarter things to write about then hating everyone and the proposed God of Love.

I mean, these people, in bands, wherever...in cults, they aren't typically all that evil anyway. They just have skewed views on things.

 

Rotting Christ aren't diehard Satanists are they? King Diamond says he practices Satanism, but I don't believe even he is all that evil.

 

I recall a show headlined by Unleashed. I appreciate them music wise, but he was ranting on about Jesus and God, and I prefer they didn't plain and simple. Evil in the World is why things are so messed up, but they'd prefer a complete bloodbath and power shift, some scary events if they did come to fruition.

[Moonshield]

No, Rotting Christ don't sing about "Satan". They have have had that tone in their earlier material, but like Emperor did, decided it was completely silly. sh*t like that is why the Norwegian Black Metal movement and guys like Ghaal were mocked, and are still. Regardless, I don't see how you say Satanism is evil, unless you're talking about the biblical Satan.

[Slamman]

Satanism is in the Metal Music vein. I believe Satanism has to stand for the AntiChrist, as I believe in a higher power. I'm not saying Hey, I'm better then others because I'm a believer in God. That's what irks me, in my mind, even the Pope sins, he's mortal, that's just the way it is. That's why preaching ardently about it has pratfalls, because those preaching tend to think they're better by right.

 

Don't want to diss MD though, they've been through Hell and back on a personal level, more then just Mustaine, they deserve respect

Sorry for the bump, I didn't think there would be any point in making a new Megadeth topic but it was just announced that David Ellefson (co founder of the band) has returned to Megadeth.

Oh, wow, Ellefson. I don't what to make of this. As long as it is good for the band.

[Moonshield]

I'd thought that David left Megadeth under less than favorable terms?

[Groovy]

He left when Dave broke up the band, and then he sued dave for like 18 mil for unpaied royalties or some sh*t like that. Now they just need to kick that lazy f*ck drover out and get menza back or something, or f*ck it, pay off friedman and get him out of j pop world and get the rip lineup back.

Sounds like a dream, except Friedman doesn't want to.

 

But Nick Menza back, sh*t. With Broderick and now Ellefson, that would really be something.

f*ck Broderick. Souless noodling meathead.

[Mand'alor]

The thing is that Nick Menza can't play all that stuff like he used to. Apparently he was brought back into a few years ago to rejoin but he wasn't able to keep up with all the songs. He looks like an out and out addict now anyway.

 

Friedman will never come back, much to busy with his pop and tending to his koi. Plus, Broderick fills his shoes quite well anyway, he recreates all of Poland's and Freidman's solos perfectly live.
